- Amazing Podcast
My only reason for not rating this 5* is due to guest “influencers”. It might just be me, but I get sick of hearing what the same 2 or 3 influencers have to say about topics, they have all got their own platforms to discuss that.

United Kingdoma year ago - Theme park nerd joy!
I've been searching for a theme park podcast that truly keeps me coming back, and Parkcast delivers every time! The hosts are fantastic—engaging, honest, and genuinely passionate about the subject. With insightful guests and captivating topics, each episode offers the perfect blend of fascinating facts and fun. It’s informative, entertaining, and often laugh-out-loud funny. If you're a theme park enthusiast, this is a must-listen. I absolutely love it!
Apple Podcasts5CoasterCalumUnited Kingdoma year ago - Finally a great theme park podcast!
Most other theme park podcasts are now talking about hotels, tickets, food or surveys. This isn’t why we enjoy the hearing about what’s going on in the industry! Parkcast talks all about attractions, lands, theming etc. it’s always a good listen. Looking forward to more coverage on the upcoming UK Universal park.

Been listening since the 2024 reboot/re-theme and always enjoy the content from the team. A slightly more adult tone than other places, with gold guests, genuine reviews that covers news and “evergreen” topics. Please keep it going
